...biggest thrill though is Salander, feminist icon to some, disturbed vigilante to others, who matters more on the screen than she did on the page, far more than her male co-star. This Lisbeth is proactive. She inserts herself into Blomkvist's detective work before she's asked. Where you might expect a movie to also make her sassier, this one makes her, if anything, angrier, more furtive, more darkly funny.

You might think those are lower-middle-class, working-class women. But take college women: when they graduate from college, a year out, they're earning 80% of what men make.

...star, R-rated comedy about a schlub who unaccountably attracts the interest of a hottie, secured third place with $9.6 million. Just behind that, at $8.3 million, was the love story Remember Me, starring vampire swoon king Robert Pattinson; not nearly enough Twilight fans booked tickets on the young male dreamboat. The interracial Our Family Wedding, with America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker, earned $7.6 million to finish sixth (after the holdover Shutter Island). So the four brand-new movies took in only about $40 million. It's the first weekend since the chill of pre-Avatar December when only...
